The off-season was one of the most excitingperiods of the year when I was growing up. I rubbed my small hands with glee as Ieagerlytracked the transfers between clubs and fervidly speculated how the teams which were thus being created would fare in the new season.
These days, however, Ifollow proceedings with a mixture of nail-chewing dread and vein-bursting rage as I obsessively count the number of blacks and other non-Whites glutting the once-proud clubs I watched as a wide-eyed little boy...
Anyway, here are a few of the recent transfers. All players are White unless otherwise noted.
Phil Jones: Blackburn Rovers to Manchester United
This is a very good move by Sir Alex Ferguson. Too bad that United are close to signing Aston Villa's black midfielder Ashley Young...
Jordan Henderson: Sunderland to Liverpool
Good stuff.Another Englishman at Liverpool
Carl Jenkinson: Charlton Athletic to Arsenal
Brad Friedel: Aston Villa to Tottenham Hotspur
Kevin Nolan: Newcastle United to West Ham
Yohan Cabaye: Lille to Newcastle United
Demba Ba (BLACK): West Ham to Newcastle United
Sylvain Marveaux (BLACK): Rennes to Newcastle United
Billy Jones: Preston North End to West Bromwich Albion
Gareth McAuley: Ipswich Town to West Bromwich Albion
Danny Graham: Watford to Swansea
James Vaughan (BLACK): Everton to Norwich City
Adam Matthews: Cardiff City to Celtic
Kelvin Wilson (BLACK): Nottingham Forest to Celtic
Manuel Neuer: Schalke 04 to Bayern Munich
Mateusz Klich: Cracovia to VfL Wolfsburg
Michael Mancienne (BLACK): Chelsea to Hamburger SV
Nuri Sahin (TURK): Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid
Adil Rami (ARAB): Lille to Valencia
Dani Parejo: Getafe to Valencia
The Qatari owners of Malaga CF have certainly been busy:
Ruud van Nistelrooy: Hamburger SV to Malaga
Joris Mathijsen: Hamburger SV to Malaga
Nacho Monreal: Osasuna to Malaga
Jeremy Toulalan: Lyon to Malaga
Miroslav Klose: Bayern Munich to Lazio
Andrea Pirlo: AC Milan to Juventus
